An FAE is a detailed, objective assessment performed by a licensed physiotherapist. It is designed to determine whether you have any functional limitations that may impact your ability to perform work-related or household tasks.

This evaluation helps:

• Identify any physical restrictions
• Support safe and gradual return-to-work planning
• Guide decisions about exercise or functional conditioning needs
• Inform employers, insurers, or healthcare providers of your current capabilities

FAEs are commonly conducted when someone is recovering from an injury or disability, and are often completed alongside a biomechanical evaluation for a more comprehensive picture.

• Assessment time: Approximately 1-2 hours
• Includes: Functional task testing, clinical observations, and a detailed summary report
• Funding: Available through private pay or insurance-sponsored programs

Our team works closely with clients, insurers, and employers to ensure clear communication and a focus on safe, evidence-based recovery.
